SUPPLEMENT.
972. HoRiE. Ad Usum Parisiensem. Latine.
Printed by Pigouchet. 1491. Octavo.
Under the title of * Hor;e/ I sliall introduce the several copies of
what are called ‘ Heures,’ or Devotional Manuals, which are con-
tained in this Library; the Noble Owner not having made it a parti-
cular object to collect volumes of this description Such volumes,
however, are of a very pleasing character, when copies of them—like the
one about to be described—are in fine condition. See vol. i. p. 150-1
ante. We begin with the edition above specified; and of which the
present copy is in a very beautiful state of preservation. The printer’s
device is on the recto of the first A . i : beneath, we read
tofutn Jdatifiettfem.
On the reverse, is an ‘ Almanack for twenty years beginning with
the year 1488, and ending with that of 1508. The impression is
executed in double columns, surrounded with borders of the usual
ornaments introduced into publications of this character. The type and
press work are equally elegant and skilful; but, the ornaments are,
upon the whole, of a secondary degree of merit. They are entirely of
a grave character. The signatures, as far as M, run in eights. On the
recto of M iiij, we read the colophon, thus :

What is singular, the device of Marnef * is on the reverse. This
copy is executed ufon vellum of a stout quality, and may be con-
sidered without a blemish. It is also very large, and beautifully bound
in blue morocco, by C. Herring.
* The devices of Pigouchet and of Marnef will be found in the Bibliographical
Decameran.
